+//The ARDI Javascript Live Data API is an update to the earlier [[interactivesvg:Welcome|Javascript API]], with a number of quality-of-life improvements and new functionality.//
 Fundamentally, the API allows you to connect your web page or SVG image to a stream of live data from an ARDI server.
-Note that this API only applies to //live// data. If you want to access historical information or static properties, we suggest using [[aql:welcome|AQL]].
+Note that this API only applies to //live// and //momentary// data - for example, when you want to view what is or was happening at a single point in time.
+If you want to access data //over time// (such as how a value changed over the last minutes/hours/days), we suggest using [[aql:welcome|AQL]].
+**For very simple applications, we now also offer the [[webbind:start|Web Data Binding]] library, which allows you to make basic data-driven displays without any code**.
